Follow on Google News | There's Hope for the Cultured Dog.American Stage Theater presents the outdoor production of RENT. On April 14, the evening's performance will allow patrons to bring their dogs to enjoy the show at Demens Landing Park, a beautiful waterfront venue in Downtown St. Petersburg, FL
Each year, American Stage in the Park features an outdoor performance on the waterfront at Demens Landing Park (corner of 1st Avenue South and Bayshore Boulevard SE in downtown St. Petersburg). In 2010, The New Barker hosted HAIR on opening night (unofficially called HAIR of the Dog for the evening's performance) Commenting on last year's performance, Andy Orrell, Director of Marketing for American Stage said, "Once everyone settled in, the dogs mostly enjoyed the outdoors, taking in the Bay breeze and then cuddled up with their humans." Orrell added, "When Anna Cooke, editor of The New Barker first proposed the idea to us in 2009 it was as if a collective lightbulb went off in our heads. Of course, what a doggone great idea." RENT is the hit rock musical based loosely on Puccini's La Boheme and is known to have changed the face of theatre forever. The story follows a year in the lives of a community of young artists, all struggling to live and celebrate life in New York's East Village. Demens Landing is one of the most beautiful parks in Florida. What better way to catch a performance under the stars than with your dog, lounging by your side? Bring your blankets or low lawn chairs for your comfort. And you may bring a picnic basket, but adding more pleasure to this year's outdoor production is the addition of Parkshore Grill Catering. They will be cooking up some fabulous food - cheese boxes, salads and sandwiches for sale at the park. A portion of the proceeds will benefit American Stage. The evening's performance begins at 8pm. Come out a little earlier to mingle with other dog lovers, some of the performers and to simply enjoy a beautiful venue. There truly is No Day But Today. Share it with your dog. # # # The New Barker is Florida's top dog lifestyle magazine, currently reaching more than 30,000 dog owners each quarter. 2011 will mark the fifth year The New Barker has been publishing.
